Hundred Man introducing himself to the
Kindergarten/First Grade students. |
So I did a terrible job of keeping my blog updated last year! I am hoping to do a much better job and be more faithful this school year. Goodness knows, it's already been a crazy school year with plenty to blog about. Before I start in on the recent, though, I'll quickly cover the highlights from last year.
We had wolves hanging out in the village over the winter, which served as another reminder of why I did not bring my favorite puppy with me. I know he's not smart enough to know they are NOT here just to play with him.
We had a couple visitors in the classroom. Mr. Reinseth wasn't feeling well and had to go home early on the 100th day of school, so Hundred Man came to school to substitute in his classroom. A student of Pythagoras also came to the middle school and high school classes to share some math insights.

Nanwalek was just a few miles away from the epicenter of a 5.8 earthquake. I remember wondering how people in California could respond so quickly to earthquakes while in Missouri we aren't even sure it was an earthquake until after it's over. Well, I discovered after sitting through one earthquake lasting longer than a quick second that is all you need to know and respond without thinking. We were sleeping when this earthquake happened. I had time to wake up, realize what it was, get up and in the doorway, and still have time to wait for the shaking to stop. I didn't think to wake Mike up until the shaking was over, however. I'm guessing that means I still need to work on my responsiveness.
There's a lot of cool and fun stuff that I'll leave out for the sake of time and space. There was also lots of whining about too much or not enough sun that I'll summarize with "Why can't the sun just be normal?!" and leave at that.
